Ha ha!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PhysX works fine for me, and plenty of others with Vista.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I reckon its user error&lt;br /&gt;

The ORB postings are a bit confusing.&lt;br /&gt;
Based upon the deltas I see, it appears that you had a 61K 3DMark score, then implemented the Physix patch for the second, giving a CPU score of 5.4x higher, but the overall score was a &amp;quot;P&amp;quot;11K?&lt;br /&gt;
Could you explain the differences? is the &amp;quot;P&amp;quot; score just too high for Vantage?  Or did you actually loose that much throughput (61K down to 11K) on the GPU side?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gerritt&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
lol&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Geritt, the 61K score is 3D Mark &lt;b&gt;2003&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;img src=&quot;http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile3.gif&quot; width=&quot;14&quot; height=&quot;14&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;:D&quot; title=&quot;:D&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And PhysX is not running on Mothow's system for his Vantage Performance score, as his CPU score is merely 8558 - mine is 27405 with PhysX enabled&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
